3. the production of cable
With the 0.7+ of the different compositions of general introduction in the table 1/-the 0.1mm isolator is being expressed on the laboratory extruding production line (160-170-180 ℃, rpm, pressure die) on 1.5 square millimeters the copper conductor.
4. test method
A) under 190 ℃ and 2.16 kilograms of weight, measure the melt flow rate (MFR) MFR of composition according to ISO 1133 2
B) complete combustion test of carrying out single electric wire according to IEC 332-1.In order to satisfy this test, after the flame of 1kW propane gas torch was removed, flame should extinguish, and in downward 50 millimeters of ceiling hold and should observe below 540 millimeters and do not burn.The electric wire that reaches this standard is designated as " qualified " in table 1, otherwise is designated as " defective ".
C) measure these droplets of material in the following manner and drop down tendency:
60 * 60 * 3 millimeters patch to this material is exerted pressure, and to be placed on mesh size be on 12 the steelframe.With the Bunsen burner (Bunsen burner) of 1kW (950+/-50 ℃) from the below with 45 by steelframe this patch that burns, oneself extinguish (patch is by perfect combustion) up to fire.In the drippage entry that calcination goes out.Filter these residues in the water outlet, drying is also weighed.Drip drop down trend be the residue collected in the water divided by the initial weight of patch, multiply by 100.That is, drop down the percentage ratio that accounts for original sample weight of loss owing to dripping.Present method is based on French method NF P 92-505.
D) measure size-grade distribution and mean particle size (d with Sedigraph 5100 50Value).This sedimentation method is that different size particulate gravity induces the measurement of travel rate to determine granularity in the known liquid of through performance.The speed that particle falls in liquid is described with Stoke's law.Maximum particle descends the fastest, and minimum particle descends the slowest, up to all particles make a decision and liquid limpid till.Because different particles shows as consistent shape hardly, thus each granularity as a kind of " equivalent spherical diameter " record, it is the diameter with same material ball of identical gravity speed.
Use the thin collimated beam of a branch of low energy X ray to measure subsidence rate, this light beam arrives detector by sample pool.Because the particle in this pond absorbs X ray, so only be the initial X ray light beam arrival detector of certain percentage.This is the raw data that is used for determining containing the pond size-grade distribution of sedimentation liquid.
X-ray source and detector are kept static installation, and sample pool vertical shifting between them.Because the disruptive features of light beam, guaranteed the automatic location of sample pool, eliminated other system since their installation move with uncertainty.Sample pool contains a transparent window, by this window, from the X ray arrival detector of light source.The granular mass distribution influence at difference place arrives the X ray umber of pulse of detector in the sample pool.This X ray pulse counting be used to derive the size-grade distribution and the percentage quality of given particle diameter.The material that mean particle size is defined as 50 weight % is the granularity during than this coarse size than the material of this fine size and 50 weight %.
5. result
